The challenge
What needed to be solved
The customer had already booked flights and accommodation when unforeseen expenses required the travel savings to be used elsewhere.
Credit file
Approximately 700 score with no disclosed adverse credit.
The approach
What X Lend did
X Lend arranged a personal loan that allowed the planned travel to proceed and retained the flexibility for the customer to repay the facility early when cash became available.
The application was approved on the first lender enquiry, avoiding unnecessary applications to multiple credit providers.
The result
Settled outcome
Approved on the first lender enquiry and settled. The customer completed the trip and repaid the loan after 12 months, paying interest only for the period used.
Historical outcome only. Rates and policy can change, and every application is assessed on its own circumstances.
